Obesity & Me

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.

I have always been overweight and if I did lose any weight with some diet or another, it always came back.... double or more... I finally just gave up.....

What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?

The worst thing about being overweight was going out with family and friends and not being able to participate in an activity because you didnt ----fit--- ... in the seat or sport or whatever..... So I would act like I just didnt want to do it....

If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?

Now that I've had surgery I enjoy getting up and doing stuff,,,,, anything, I couldnt do before. Simple things like sitting on the floor with my little girl, pulling her wagon down the street, bike riding thing like that..
